Book Description
“Mudra” is a gesture made with fingers, hands or with entire body, sometimes coupled with breathing techniques to stimulate the flow of energy in the body. Mudras originated thousands of years ago and were very well adopted in ancient India, but of late, its essence is seen diminishing. With an intention to bring the benefits of Mudras to common man, Yogacharya and Mudra Specialist Sri Dharanipragada Prakash Rao has published a book in Telugu (A language of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States of India) by name “Mudralu, Bhandhaalu” which is result of his vast study and research in the area of Yoga and Mudras. Till date it sold around 10,000 copies. To further strengthen the reach of this knowledge and benefits to larger audience, Sri Prakash Rao along with his daughter Dharanipragada Deepthi have brought forward a book in English by name “SAMPOORNA MUDRA VIGNAN” which is an encyclopedia to Mudras. It covers 810 Mudras with pictures, which explains the procedure, time limit to perform the Mudras, their physical, mental and spiritual benefits too. Apart from therapeutic use through Chikitsa mudras, this book also covers various mudras on Pranayama, Dhyana (Meditation) to activate chakras, Puja mudras, Mantra mudras, Vaastu mudras, Natya mudras and many more. This book categorizes Mudras based on how they are performed, such as Hasta Mudras which are practiced with hands, Kaaya Mudras (with body), Sira Mudras (with head), Aadhaara Mudras (taking an external support), Mano Mudras (by focusing the mind on something), Chakshu Mudras (using eyes), Bandha Mudras (internal locking mechanisms). Last part of the book contains a detailed list of ailments with special mention about the Mudras which can prevent or cure specific ailments. The reader can find his or her current health issue and practice the specific Mudras proposed in the book to experience direct benefits of Mudras. Irrespective of the age, if staying fit is your goal, then this is a “Book of all Times”! NOTE: Though most of the Mudras can be practiced by self to heal the health, there are some Mudras which must be learnt and practiced only under the guidance of an expert Mudra Specialist. The results may vary according to the level of concentration, belief, interest and practice.

Book Description
Yoga is flying across the shores of Bharatha all over the world like an eagle. The entire humanity needs yoga today. If going after Yoga to get rid of diseases is one dimension, using Yoga to make our body healthy so that we can enjoy material pleasures is the other dimension. This was not what those great Rshis who evolved Yoga had in mind. Yoga is another name for pure living. If man lives, being aware of the purpose for which he was created, what else can it be excepted in Yoga? Human body is a temple. In a larger sense, it is the dwelling place of gods. Whatever one finds in the world is present in the human body. We have 72,000 Nerves in the body, also we have 72,000 Nadies which are subtle channels and centres of energy. We get a detailed account of these in books on Hatayoga. In this background Mudras and Bandhas occupy a place of great significance. We have a considerably difficult challenge to convert this Annamaya body into one, the object of which is Dharma Sadhana. Kalidasa has announced, "Shareeramadyam khalu dharma sadhanam". Our sages have said, "Manaeva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoho" Our mind is the cause of both Bandha and Moksha. In that case how can we make use of the techniques available to us to the best of our advantage? "Mudras" help us to keep our body and mind pure and chaste. They are tools to lead us to life fulfilment. When we activate the nerve and nadi centres in the body, they make the flow of energy smooth. Our body is a fantastic machine designed by the Creator. He has set in it a super computer called the 'Brain'. All the activities in our body are controlled by the Mind. The pressure exerted on certain key points in the body and in hands, energises the centres in the brain. We have come to know this truth as a result of experiments conducted in different parts of the world. Acupressure specialists assert that if we activate certain points in the legs, hands and ears, we can ward off a number of disorders of the body. In our ancient Tantra Marga we hear about "Khechari Mudra". During five thousand years after sage Vedavyasa, our ancestors have devised a number of ways to help man keep himself fit. They are simple and workable. We get a sea of information about Mudra Science in a number of books on Yoga shastra and Tantra Shastra. In a few of our epics also, we get references to these Mudras.
